Brave to be Brave
When life seems
frightening … when just being you seems fearsome, how do you manage?
I know people who wake up
in the morning and see the rest of the day as something to battle their way
through: Panic attack s, anxiety, depression, OCD, fear, health anxiety,
phobias and the possible accompanying physical symptoms. And…these people can wrestle
with the day and very often the night over and over again.
It’s not uncommon for some
non sufferers to criticise the mental and even physical difficulties of others,
perhaps labelling them weak. But they are not weak; they are hero’s.
Despite the amount of mental anguish and pain they live with every waking
moment – they fight on bravely. They tolerate the misery like valiant soldiers.
It’s often hard to face
another day of dreadfulness and it takes energy to find that braveness inside
and draw on it – but draw on it they do.
So, if you know someone
who is struggling – recharge them with your kindness and patience and tell them
how brave to be brave they are. X
